Planning for R1/R2 for 2013 admissions..
I understand my profile is not weak, but should I be concerned about age? I do have some top schools in mind, but I have been reading that age may be an issue. Any feedback is welcome.
Your age can be an issue if you are aiming at programs with a low average age at matriculation, like Stanford. It is not an issue for programs with average at matriculation of 28 or more. Please see
MBA admissions for older applicants.Best,
